Pardongate hasn’t done much to diminish former President Clinton’s popularity here – nearly half of New Yorkers surveyed still say they’d like to see him run for mayor someday.

A Quinnipiac University poll, released yesterday, shows that 47 percent of 1,087 voters questioned think Clinton would be a good fit for City Hall. Forty-nine percent disagree.

That wasn’t as good as the 51-42 percent split Clinton achieved in a similar Marist College poll three months ago.

But analysts said Clinton’s showing was remarkable, considering the steady pummeling he’s been getting over his last-minute presidential pardons since leaving office Jan. 20.

“Clinton weaves political straw into gold,” said Quinnipiac pollster Maurice Carroll. “He rents the Taj Mahal of offices [in Midtown], gets criticized, ends up going to Harlem and three-quarters of New Yorkers applaud the idea.”

But not all the numbers came up rosy for Clinton.

In every one of four questions relating to the ex-president, white voters took a dimmer view of him than did blacks and Hispanics.

For example, 83 percent of blacks said they wouldn’t mind having Clinton for a neighbor, while only 51 percent of whites were ready to prepare the welcome wagon.

The four Democrats who’ve shown an unending interest in the job remain tightly bunched, but with Comptroller Alan Hevesi once again bringing up the rear in the poll.

Public Advocate Mark Green led with 31 percent, followed by Bronx Borough President Fernando Ferrer at 19 percent, City Council Speaker Peter Vallone with 11 percent and Hevesi in the single digits at 9 percent.

The poll was conducted Feb. 20-26. It has a margin of error of 3 percent, plus or minus. In the Democratic matchups, where 677 registered Democrats were surveyed, the error margin increases 3.8 percent.
